Liverpool agree signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen
The 22-year-old playmaker has put pen to paper on a long-term contract with the Reds after agreeing personal terms and successfully passing a medical.
He is very young but already shown his ability with Bayer Leverkusen and German national team in the past two seasons. A transfer to Liverpool and Premier League is a very good upgrade for his player career. A new chapter of Wirtz's career starts by this transfer and Liverpool actually expect a lot of things from this young player.
It seems the next season is gonna be a hard season for Wirtz. Being a new transfer record in PL means he will get big burden. This reminds me with other PL players who cost less than him, but being blamed even after this player won so many trophies like Grealish.
I have no beef to the Liverpool's money, but they obviously overpay him so much. This means they give him very big responsibility to carry their club next season. Believe me or not, He will get massive blame once he performs badly on his first game.
Wirtz is a very good player who is very energetic, talented and creative so that he is able to make considerable contributions for Liverpool's attacking system in next seasons. He can be an important player in a new attacking system of Liverpool after era of Mohamed Salah, Mane and Firmino. He even potentially can be a core player in this new attacking system for Liverpool that is in building process under management of Arne Slot.
Liverpool succeeded with Roberto Firmino from Bundesliga and Wirtz is another very promising player from Bundesliga for them. With him, Liverpool will have a key player in attacks who can provide many assists for his teammates while they are still finding a new player who can replace Mohamed Salah as a new main goal scorer for the team.
